If the car has its service history intact, thenu can check and asure yourself about the car and if it is within your budget, go for it. Kia is a good automotive manufacturer. People have to get out of the toyota / honda mindset. These cars are cheaper and as good as their japanese counterparts. I used a hyundai for 3 years in dubai and sold it because i was leaving to come here to qatar. I had no problems at all.
